"I took a Leather Earrings Craft Workshop with May on 12/4/21. It. Was. Amazing!!! The other students were fabulous company, and I can't say enough great things about May as a teacher and facilitator. She is so friendly and warm. She had beautiful materials. She provided excellent guidance and suggestions when needed. And she knew just what we needed to keep the flow of the class. We got to do the fun stuff, selecting, cutting, and arranging materials, while she punched holes, added jump rings, and earring hooks. We all were able to make several beautiful sets of earrings to keep or gift. They looked amazing. It was wonderful to be creative and focused for a few hours. I LOVE to craft, but sometimes you want to experiment without purchasing all the tools and materials necessary to complete a project. This workshop was the perfect example of a class that allowed me to be completely creative without having to worry about purchasing materials and tools, learning about using those materials and tools, and then storing those materials and tools indefinitely in my garage (adding to my husband's great sadness over the state of our garage). This class happened during COVID, and I felt very safe. Everyone was wearing masks."

"I signed up for a skull painting workshop with May that went above and beyond! May provided all necessary tools etc, and took the time to go around and offer tips, show techniques to everyone, which was admirable considering we were all doing different designs and not the same end goal (IE like a paint and sip or similar). I didn't finish by the end, but I continued working on it at home and May was so gracious to offer more tips and guidance via online. Mostly, it was a great atmosphere of no pressure, no art "rules", tons of fun. I left the workshop excited to paint again in future!"

"I stepped out of my comfort zone yesterday and took a painting class taught by May. I had the best time. It was a small class which meant we had 1 on 1 teaching from May. She was patient, helpful, funny, and made the class awesome!! Thank you May!!! I can't wait to come back for another class."

"I ordered a leather wrap bracelet for my friend's birthday - it arrived quickly and was packaged safely. It was beautiful, and my friend was so pleased with it. Can't wait to order more!"

"Came here with an incredibly custom request for a rehandle of an antique hatchet. May turned it around in less than a week and now I have a beautiful handmade leather handle! Many thanks for her willingness to take on a new project and produce such detailed and quality work!"
